章節 80: The joy an the sorrow of Xiao Mei

It was high noon, there was still a lot of time before the evening, so Xiao Mei was walking out to enjoy the day, but there was one thing that would not let her do so… It was the thought about what could happen to Xiao Qiangwei, who got "Lost" somewhere.

Somehow, not even the HQ was able to find any clue, the only thing that she knows is that he, and two other people suddenly disappeared, as if they never existed.

She knew the other two, they were one of the best friends that her son made in Japan, but she never seen them except on some photos they made together, those two never got out from their house, but somehow they were able to feed themselves and gain money, well, good for them.

She even knew about his son's habitude to attack thugs, at least 4 times each week, there was either a family or someone else at her door that wanted to thank her son, if it was a young girl, they would sometimes ask about his love history or if she could present him to the girl.

But he was mostly at the home of his friends or at the park, and she would never give up her precious son to a random stranger just because she was saved from him, who knows, maybe she will cheat on him one day.

She had already experience with unfaithful people… Many years ago, she would get angry at the thought, but she was more worried about her son.

And about the thugs he would hit, in the city there was not any more bad guy, sometimes there would be robbers, kidnappers, or rapists, but they were here not knowing about the reputation of the town.

Some of the victims would even tell her some stories, about things like that Xiao Qiangwei would beat the rapists until they get unconscious, and one would escape. But instead of taking care of the victim, he would run after the ruffian to his base to beat more thugs.

After those moments, he would come home with a wallet full of money, other times she would hear about news about a big bag full of money appearing in front of orphanages with a letter saying that it is a donation, obviously the sender was anonymous, but Xiao Mei could recognize his calligraphy.

The only time she lent money to him, was when he was small and it was just to pick an ice-cream.

Before his birth, she would always hear stories from other mothers that having a son would be a blessing and a curse, especially at night, or when the kid is home alone, they would find something broken or hear the kid crying the entire time.

But Xiao Mei didn't had this problem, Xiao Qiangwei never cried, when he fell, he would just stand up as if nothing happened, and strangely he wasn't injured.

He would never leave anything in a dish, cabbages, fruit, meat, everything would be eaten from him, she was really proud of him, and even more so for his behavior.

He would never do anything perverted like looking down the women's skirt, even if she was unaware about his senses….

One of the most funniest things was when she found out that he was masturbating, however she forgot about it anyway, it was a man's needs, it would be strange if he was NOT doing it, and at least he cleaned all the evidence afterwards.

Strangely, when she tried to check on him a second time, he would not be doing anything, as if he knew already about her presence, she would find him in the computer playing a game.

She would ask him about getting a girlfriend for himself, and in return he would blush a bit and say things like, "It's not the right one." or "Not yet.".

He would hurt both men and women, which Xiao Mei encouraged, she didn't want a little bitch as a son, however he would do so only when his patience is finished.

He even had a gold heart with friends and family, like that time he stood home to take care of her when she had a fever, which she gained from a Devourer capable of inflicting illness.

If Xiao Qiangwei was not her son, and had 20 more years, she may have some dirty thoughts about him, however, like Sora, her morality would slap her in the face just from thinking about Xiao Qiangwei as someone else instead of her son, and she didn't feel anything about him except maternal love.

Obviously, if she saw her son doing things like sniffing her panties, she would immediately kick his ass, as much as impossible it is right now… She was against incest.

When she sighed in exasperation, she felt something vibrate on her pocket, and picked her phone. The one calling her was her boss, which meant that another Devourer came nearby.

Xiao Mei: Hello?

"Lightning Blade, we need your help again, there is a spatial rift near you at the size of a door, we may think that it is an evolved Devourer, take care of it."

Xiao Mei: Yes.

She turned off her phone and put it in the pocket, after doing that, she rushed in a nearby bathroom and took something out from her bag, it was an helmet, a belt, gloves, and small pieces of armor.

Everything about it was black, the helmet looked like a motorcycle helmet, with black glass.

She wore those pieces of armor and the helmet, and when she wore the last one, she could feel a small vibration before her body was covered from a special suit.

The cyber suit would enchant her abilities to a superhuman level, she could as well lift a truck with a single hand, going at the speed of a bullet, and being unharmed after receiving a missile head on.

Then she took out a katana, whose blade was glowing blue, it was her lightning blade, her signature weapon. If the Devourer is an evolved one, then things might get serious, she didn't know that the worst threat is a humanoid devourer, so she think that the animal-shaped ones, like this one, are the worst.

After that, she used a function of her suit that made her invisible, and left from the bathroom.

Xiao Mei: HQ, where is the Devourer?

"...At your house."

Xiao Mei froze for a moment, before she started to run as fast as possible to her home.

Xiao Mei: 'Why are they there?!'

She was asking this while she kept running, normally even if her entire house would get vaporized, the HQ would pay for it, however that place was the thing that most represented her memory with her son, together with the house in China, which was already sold to someone else.

If her home, which held the many moments that she was with Xiao Qiangwei, got suddenly, destroyed, she doesn't have any idea about what could happen to her. However, she kept running anyways.

Strangely, there wasn't any dimensional interference, Devourers would activate their abilities the moment they stepped in the planet and try to eat as many people as possible.

They mysteriously arrived in this world 25 years ago, and no one knows about their origin.

Some minutes later, she reached her home, and she stopped there, then she looked at her own house and noticed that the lights were turned on.

Xiao Mei: '...Thieves? Maybe it's the Devourer…'

She still kept on her invisibility and put her cyber suit on silent mode, all the sound coming from her stopped appearing, even her heartbeat and breathing wasn't there anymore.

She slowly walked to the entrance, before turning around the house and jumping on the roof of the house, and then reaching a window.

She knew that something like this could happen, so she asked the HQ to install a window which required her fingerprint to open from outside.

Then her glove made a hole, letting a finger out, before she touched the glass of the window, suddenly, some symbols and words appeared over the glass, and it opened after confirming her presence, Xiao Mei entered in the house without making a noise, and checked around her room.

There was nothing wrong with it, then she opened her door and looked at the stairs, where the light came from, and slowly walked down, with her weapon ready to be activated and used.

She reached the lower floor, and turned towards the living room, before finding two figures, one was hidden from the back of the sofa, and could see only platinum blonde colored hair, while the other figure was an… Angel?

It was completely different from the Devourers she encountered, maybe she was a new variant of the Devourers, but anyways, she kept her guard up, she never met an humanoid Devourer, especially one where she could recognize its gender.

So, she slowly walked towards the two silhouettes...
